{
  "inputs": [
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "rdl-mcp-log-level",
      "description": "RDL_MCP_LOG_LEVEL",
      "password": true
    },
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "rdl-mcp-log-file",
      "description": "RDL_MCP_LOG_FILE",
      "password": true
    }
  ],
  "servers": {
    "rdl-mcp": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "rdl-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "RDL_MCP_LOG_LEVEL": "${input:rdl-mcp-log-level}",
        "RDL_MCP_LOG_FILE": "${input:rdl-mcp-log-file}"
      }
    }
  }
}

VS Code prompts for each input the first time the server starts, so no secret is written to the file. VS Code docs
